Definitions

  • Ram Air Turbine (RAT) systems are used in contemporary aircraft as emergency or supplemental power systems. They typically have a turbine, with a rotating hub and a plurality of blades, operably coupled to a generator to provide the driving source for the generator. Initially in flight they are stowed in a compartment of the aircraft fuselage, covered by a compartment door. When needed as a source of emergency or supplemental power, the RAT system is deployed from the fuselage into the surrounding airstream, which drives the blades to rotate the generator to extract energy from the airstream.
  • a ram air turbine system for generating electrical power in an aircraft when the system is exposed to an airstream exterior of the aircraft, includes a turbine having multiple blades and a turbine output shaft operably coupled to the blades such that rotation of the blades rotates the turbine output shaft, a housing defining an interior, a gearbox located in the interior and having a speed-increasing gear train with a gearbox output element and operably coupled to the turbine output shaft such that the gearbox output element rotates at a faster speed than the blades, a generator located within the interior and having a stator and a rotor where the rotor is operably coupled to the gearbox output element, and an integrated heat exchanger for cooling the gearbox and the generator.
  • an aircraft 10 may include a RAT system 12 for generating electrical power for the aircraft 10 when the RAT system 12 is exposed to the airstream exterior of the aircraft 10.
  • the RAT system 12 may include a RAT 14, which may be suspended from the aircraft 10 by a strut 16 and mounting assembly 18.
  • the RAT 14 may be stored within a suitable compartment in the fuselage or wing of the aircraft 10 and may be deployed quickly and easily by moving the strut 16 relative to the mounting assembly 18, thereby moving the RAT system 12 to an exposed position within the air stream flowing past the aircraft 10.
  • the RAT 14 includes a housing 20 in which are located an electrical generator 22, a gearbox 23 having a gearbox output element 24, and an integrated heat exchanger 25.
  • a turbine in the form of multiple blades 26 projecting from a rotary hub 28 is provided on one end of the housing 20. Although only two blades 26 have been shown in the illustrated embodiment it is contemplated that any number of blades 26 may be used.
  • the turbine further includes a turbine output shaft 30 may be operably coupled at a first end 32 to the blades 26 such that rotation of the blades 26 rotates the turbine output shaft 30.
  • the turbine output shaft 30 may be operably coupled to the blades 26 in any suitable manner and may project rearwardly from the blades 26 to provide a rotary output for driving an auxiliary power unit, such as the electrical generator 22.
  • a rotor shaft 34 may extend from the blades 26 and may be splined, or otherwise suitably mechanically coupled, with the turbine output shaft 30 such that rotation of the blades 26 is transferred through the rotor shaft 34 to the turbine output shaft 30.
  • the blades 26 or a portion of the rotary hub 28 may be coupled directly to the turbine output shaft 30.
  • a second end 36 of the turbine output shaft 30 may be operably coupled to a portion of the gearbox 23.
  • the turbine output shaft 30 may be rotatably supported within bearings 38 mounted in the rotary hub 28.
  • the housing 20 comprises a body 44, which is closed by opposing first and second end caps 46, 48, to provide a common housing defining an interior 40 for receiving both the gearbox 23 and generator 22.
  • a wall 42 is provided to separate the gearbox portion of the interior 40 from the generator portion of the interior 40 to physically and fluidly separate the two portions of the interior 40.
  • the housing 20 may also include a plurality of heat-dissipating fins or cooling fins 50.
  • the cooling fins 50 may be formed in any suitable manner such that they project outwardly from a periphery 52 the housing 20.
  • the cooling fins 50 may be spaced about the periphery 52 of the body 44. The size and number of the cooling fins 50 may be a function of the specific heat dissipation requirements of the RAT system 12.
  • the generator 22 comprises a stator 54 and a rotor 56 located within the generator portion of the interior 40.
  • the rotor 56 may be operably coupled to the gearbox output element 24 such that the gearbox output element 24 may provide driving force for the rotor 56 such that electrical power may be generated.
  • the generator 22 may be suitably coupled via conductor cables 58 to the aircraft 10.
  • the RAT system 12 may be carried at the lower end of strut 16, which may be hollow.
  • the hollow strut 16 may define a passage 59 through which the conductor cables 58 from the generator 22 may pass to the aircraft 10. In this manner, the conductor cables 58, and any other linkages between the RAT system 12 and the aircraft 10, may be protectively concealed within the strut 16 to lessen damage.
  • the gearbox 23 may include a speed-increasing gear train 60. More specifically, an input gear 62, a first idler gear 64, a second idler gear 66, and an output drive gear 68 may be included in the speed-increasing gear train 60.
  • the input gear 62 may be referred to by other names but has been referenced here as an input gear because power is input to the speed-increasing gear train 60 of the gearbox 23 at the input gear end of the speed-increasing gear train 60.
  • the input gear 62 may be splined or otherwise suitably mechanically coupled to the turbine output shaft 30, generally near its second end 36.
  • Input gear 62 meshes with the first idler gear 64, which has a height spanning across both the input gear 62 and the second idler gear 66.
  • first idler gear 64 may mesh with the second idler gear 66.
  • the second idler gear 66 may in turn mesh with the output drive gear 68, which may be splined, or otherwise suitably mechanically coupled, to the gearbox output element 24, which is illustrated as a shaft that may be rotatably supported by bearings 70.
  • the bearings 70 may be provided in an arrangement to rotatably support the gearbox output element 24 coaxially with the turbine output shaft 30.
  • gearbox 23 is illustrated as being located within the housing 20 with the generator 22 it may be in a separate housing coupled to the generator 22.
  • a coolant circuit 72 is included in the integrated heat exchanger 25 for cooling the gearbox 23 and the generator 22.
  • the coolant circuit 72 is illustrated as extending from the gearbox 23 to the generator 22 and is formed at least in part by passageways 74 within the housing 20 such that heat from the gearbox 23 and the generator 22 is transferred to the housing 20 by a coolant 76 circulating in the coolant circuit 72.
  • the passageways 74 may be formed within the body 44 such that they extend a length of the body 44.
  • the passageways 74 may be formed within the first and second end caps 46 and 48 such that they fluidly couple the passageways 74 within the body 44 to each other.
  • a coolant sump 78 may be fluidly coupled to the coolant circuit 72 to supply coolant 76 to the coolant circuit 72. Any suitable coolant 76 may be used including, by way of non-limiting example, oil.
  • a pump 80 may be fluidly coupled to at least one of the coolant sump 78 and the coolant circuit 72 to recirculate the coolant 76 from the coolant sump 78 through the coolant circuit 72.
  • the pump 80 may be any suitable type of pump and by way of non-limiting examples may include a simple gear pump, or a gerotor type pump. It is contemplated that regardless of the type of pump used the pump 80 may be driven off of the speed-increasing gear train 60.
  • a filter assembly 82 may also be located within the gear box 23 along the coolant circuit 72, preferably adjacent the pump 80 to filter the coolant 76 to prevent plugging of the coolant circuit 72.
  • the coolant sump 78 and pump 80 are illustrated as being located within the gearbox 23. In this configuration, as better illustrated in FIG. 3 , the input gear 62 may contact the coolant 76 within the coolant sump 78 such that the coolant 76 may be used as lubrication for the speed-increasing gear train 60.
  • the RAT 14 is extended into the airstream surrounding the aircraft, the airstream flowing over the blades 26 causes the blades 26 to rotate, which in turn causes the turbine output shaft 30 to rotate at the same rotations per minutes as the blades 26.
  • the turbine output shaft 30 drives the input gear 62 of the speed-increasing gear train 60, which in turn drives the first and second idler gears 64 and 66, which in turn drives the output drive gear 68 and the gearbox output element 24.
  • the speed-increasing gear train 60 causes the gearbox output element 24 to rotate at a faster speed than the blades 26 and acts to convert the low speed incoming rotation to high speed rotation suitable for generating electricity.
  • the generator 22 may be configured to generate at least 30kW at 20,000 rpm. More specifically, the ratio of the input gear 62 to the output drive gear 68 may be selected such that the output drive gear 68 rotates at a substantially greater speed than the input gear 62.
  • the gear configuration and gear ratios in the speed-increasing gear train 60 may be selected such that the gearbox output element 24 rotates at 20,000 rpm in response to a predetermined rotational speed of the turbine output shaft of 6,000 rpm.
  • the rotor 56 is driven by the gearbox output element 24 and causes the generator 22 to produce electricity that may be transferred to the aircraft 10 through the conductor cables 58.
  • the RAT system 12 Along with producing electricity, the RAT system 12 also produces heat.
  • the pump 80 may also be driven by the speed-increasing gear train 60 and may operate to circulate the coolant 76 within the cooling circuit 72.
  • the coolant 76 may be pumped by the pump 80 through the coolant circuit 72 including the multiple passageways 74 within the body 44 and first and second end caps 46 and 48 before the coolant flows into the coolant sump 78 and through the filter assembly 82 before being pumped by the pump 80 through the coolant circuit 72 again.
  • the coolant flows through the coolant circuit 72 it may absorb heat from the gearbox 23 and interior 40 of the generator 22, which is hotter than the coolant.
  • the coolant 76 As the coolant 76 is pumped through the cooling circuit 72 it carries the displaced heat.
  • the displaced heat in the coolant 76 may then be dissipated through the housing 20 and its cooling fins 50.
  • the cooled coolant repeats this cycle, to continuously remove heat from the gearbox 23 and generator 22.
  • the RAT 14, gearbox 23, and generator 22 are linearly arranged such that the airstream passing through the blades 26 flows over the gearbox 23 and the housing 20 including the cooling fins 50 to provide for heat transfer from the circulating coolant 76 to the airstream.
  • the cooling fins 50 add to the surface area of the generator 22 and aid in transferring heat to the surrounding air stream allowing for greater heat dissipation from the RAT system 12.
  • the speed-increasing gear train 60 may also provide the driving power for a hydraulic pump (not shown).
  • a hydraulic pump may be located such that it may rotate at the same increased speed as the generator 22 or may be located such that it may rotate at the slower turbine speed while the electrical generator is allowed to rotate at the increased speed.
  • the design and placement of the various components may be rearranged such that a number of different in-line configurations could be realized.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates an alternative RAT system 112 with an integrated heat exchanger 125 according to a second embodiment of the invention.
  • the second embodiment is similar to the first embodiment; therefore, like parts will be identified with like numerals increased by 100, with it being understood that the description of the like parts of the first embodiment applies to the second embodiment, unless otherwise noted.
  • the difference between the first embodiment and the second embodiment is that the cooling fins 150 of the heat exchanger 125 also have passageways 190, which may be fluidly coupled to the passageways 174 and the remainder of the cooling circuit 172. Although each cooling fin 150 has been illustrated as having a passageway 190 this need not be the case. It is possible for some, but not all, of the cooling fins 150 to have a passageway 190.
  • passageways 190 being located in the cooling fins 150 the number of passageways in the housing 120 may be reduced.
  • the coolant in both the passageways 174 and the passageways 190 may further aid in displacing heat from the gearbox 23 and generator 122 to the surrounding airstream.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates a third embodiment wherein the RAT system 212 only includes the passageways 290 located within the fins 250.
  • the third embodiment is similar to the first embodiment; therefore, like parts will be identified with like numerals increased by 200, with it being understood that the description of the like parts of the first embodiment applies to the third embodiment, unless otherwise noted.
  • the passageways 290 take the place of the passageways within the body 244.
  • the first and second end caps would include corresponding fluid passageways to allow coolant pumped through the passageways 290 to be in fluid communication with the remainder of the cooling circuit 272 including the coolant sump and pump (not shown).
  • the embodiments disclosed herein provide a RAT system with an integrated heat exchanger.
  • One advantage that may be realized in the above embodiments is that the above described embodiments can effectively remove heat from the high power RAT system.
  • the cooling fins along the housing increase the cooling surface area and the coolant circuit provides an effective means for dissipating heat from the gearbox and generator.
  • Another advantage is that the above described embodiments are configured as closed loop systems where oil in the coolant sump is recirculated to remove heat from the generator while also providing lubrication to the gears in gearbox.
